Cebu MMA: Top Gym in Mactan! 1-Month Review of 'The Fighting' (Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai)

Hello, everyone! Today, I’m excited to share my 1-month training experience at 'The Fighting' MMA Gym, one of the hottest sports spots recently opening in the New Mactan area of Cebu! 🥊🥋

If you've been living in or visiting Cebu, you probably know how hard it is to find a professional gym where you can properly learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Boxing, and Muay Thai all under one roof. Finally, a dedicated MMA gym has opened right here in New Mactan!

📍 Location & How to Get There (Grab / Google Maps Tip)

• Address: 1F, UncleJACK Restaurant, Vistamar Road, Mactan, Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, PH 6016

• Search Tip: Simply search 'UncleJACK' on Grab, Google Maps, or Move It (motorbike taxi app).

• Located on the 1st floor of the famous UncleJACK building right next to the popular massage spa, it's super easy to find even for first-timers!

🥊 Friendly Korean Head Coach & Clean Facilities

When you step inside, you'll be warmly greeted by the friendly Korean Head Coach at the front desk. He’s extremely welcoming and provides detailed consultation for beginners without any pressure!

Right by the counter, there are 3 cozy mini-tables where members can grab a tea, relax, and chat before or after workouts. ☕

🥋 My 1-Month Experience: Jiu-Jitsu Review

Inside the facility, you'll find a spacious and clean professional mat setup for safe training. Professional head instructors and assistant coaches provide close 1-on-1 guidance to ensure both safety and proper technique.
